Concept information
Preferred term
contract ministers
Definition
- Contract ministers are employed by all prison systems in the United States to offer pastoral care to inmates whose religious beliefs may not be adequately covered by the staff prison chaplain. Increasing numbers of these contract workers are being hired, as some jurisdictions have decided not to employ full-time chaplains.
